Do antioxidants interfere with skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise training?

Interesting article published in the Journal of Physiology, National Library of Medicine concerning antioxidant supplementation and exercise training (if you can read through the scientific jargon):

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5023714

Cliffs:
  • There's a growing body of literature suggesting that antioxidant supplementation may hamper or prevent the signalling of important adaptations such as ... hypertrophy.
  • Antioxidant supplementation reduces hypertrophy signalling ... and strength gains in muscle following resistance exercise.
  • Antioxidant supplementation during resistance training could potentially blunt signalling of adaptive hypertrophy.
  • Given the potential for antioxidants to suppress some training adaptations with little evidence to suggest any positive effects, the authors tend to reject the use of such supplements.

What's your take on this article? What do you consume for antioxidants? For me it's mangosteen, blueberries, and açaí.
